IDF spokesman did not publish any claim about Rafah entry, no publication in trusted media. Resolved as no.

US hopeful of Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal in ‘coming days’ (ft.com)

I'm guessing the 'free hostages before Ramadan' ultimatum means we won't see a full scale clearing of the city until next month.

@GazDownright what are your thoughts?

@RanaG I'm having a wager

Wait after Ramadan

@KarenShalev Please vote “no” then..
